1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is characterized by multiple cutaneous neurofibromas of varying sizes along with skeletal, neurologic, and ophthalmic features. Solitary swellings in neurofibromatosis type 1 are not commonly encountered except in the form of plexiform neurofibromas. We report two cases with neurofibromatosis type 1 presenting with solitary swelling in the ankles which were proven to be the diffuse type of neurofibroma, radiologically and histopathologically. Diffuse type neurofibroma presenting as ankle swelling in type 1 neurofibromatosis has not been reported before.
